Tina Fey's 'Mean Girls' Musical Receives Mixed Reviews in West End Debut

Critics praise the show's humor and performances but question its relevance and musical score.

The musical adaptation of the 2004 film has been updated for Gen Z audiences with modern references and language.
Critics highlight strong performances, particularly by Georgina Castle as Regina George and Tom Xander as Damian.
Reviews are divided on the quality of the musical score, with some calling it catchy and others forgettable.
The show's themes of high school cliques and social dynamics are seen as both timeless and somewhat outdated.
Despite mixed reviews, the production is noted for its energetic and engaging presentation.
